Vettel - and the great joy of winning On 14 November have been sitting back watching TV
million and could see how the youngest world champion
won the Formula 1 history and being happy.
We could hear Sebastian Vettel as he still
car after receiving the message that he has managed to
, barely able to speak, thanked him and "I love you"
said. On the podium, he could hardly hold back his tears
and he was then also sympathetic
during the press conference. The Red Bull owner and billionaire Dieter
Matuscheck could just as tears in his eyes.
Formula 1 is a tough business and it is also about
lot of money. But we believe that the tears had a lot to do with
money? I do not believe it anyway.
The billionaire does not cry because it is perhaps more
money. And the young racer is already rich.
you cry in spite of the money. All happiness research
shows again and again, the money is not really intrinsic
motivator and not very happy and also makes
can not even make them happy.
money is useful, but not everything.
At Red Bull has been no team orders, has been fought
sporty and it was not for the young
Vettel always easy in the last year. The whole
year never led the drivers' championship and then won it
. If his car through held in Korea,
he had not won more and would have been ahead.
Had it not with Ferrari team orders at Hockenheim, where
would not Alonso came in first place
the drivers' championship. (Interesting that the team hierarchy
brought seven points that Alonso would not otherwise have had and then he ends up in the last
such an important race in 7th place).
Would, would not count but Vettel and remained with his thoughts
not useless in these mind games.
world champion says that the sport dominated, but says it
above all that we also ruled mentally.
straight in Formula 1, where it's at such a fast car to hundredths and thousandths of a second
that determine victory or defeat
, the physical and mental condition
crucial. Did not
Boris Becker in his tennis defeats often:
"I was not mentally in a good mood."
Sebastian Vettel said yesterday as well, which
"concentration" requires it to sleep well the night before such an important
race ever to be able to sleep
. And he made it clear that he
from all the morning as possible everyone
and foreign influences have kept away, so he could concentrate on
and its performance.
He knew that he may concentrate solely on himself and had
judge its performance. He also knew that he
not been able to contribute more than his best performance.
But who ever was in an exam, know that only
test anxiety is caused because one is too much thought
does what other people might think of one thing that could happen
everything else, etc..
So the young world champion has made it perfectly true
concentrate fully on himself and his car, so the best performance
retrieve.
This is concentration and tension in top form.
on success and relaxation, then discharge are the famous tears of happiness.
And these tears of joy, many of us already had. You do not
be world champion this.
But if we look closely, those tears of happiness
keep coming, and only when we have before us made accordingly
something, it was not easy and we required an effort.
It is simple a "great feeling" when something impossible
seemed to make it after all.
The Minister of Labour of the Federal Republic of Germany
in the magazine Focus in this Meaning, cited
"Children should learn how to taste success."
We should help them a healthy self-esteem
develop, which also is not just from the sky,
is developed but also the successes.
But not only the successes in the field, but especially in the interior
success. I am sure that Vettel had not had the
tears of joy when the victory would have been clear about the 19
race from the start, it requires no special effort would
. Especially the inner conflict
is what matters. Our Goal Achiever
(Zielerreicherprogramm) it is one of the most important statements:
in achieving the objective, it is less important,
what you get, but rather depends on who you will!
And can it be expressed as follows:
"True enlightened people do not try to be like other
try to be better than her former self
Compete against other, it's you compete against himself.."
And that has presented to us this young world champion Sebastian Vettel
in the past season as clearly and sympathetically
. But it is my very great respect.
Winning Spirit!
Where do you connect today to develop? What are you
today are better than your yesterday I?
In this sense I wish you many happy tears.
Sincerely
Wolfgang Sonnenburg
winning for life
